The entire Athens Olympic Stadium turned into a sea of joy. Standing in a corner of the stadium, Chen Mo enjoyed the applause and cheers sent to him by the fans!
Not to mention Arsenal fans, even some Barcelona fans gave Chen Mo applause!
Not only because Chen Mo's goal was really invincible, he also continuously beat Xavi, Musk, Puyol and the goalkeeper while running for nearly 100 meters!
It’s because what happened in just five minutes was so terrifying!
five minutes!
Chen Mo and Messi scored three goals like a cheat, and they were all extremely exciting goals that could be recorded in the history of football!
It can be said that in these five minutes, all the fans in the audience never sat down, and their mood was rising and falling rapidly like a roller coaster!
Very enjoyable!
Not only the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV, but also the commentary booth was excited!
"Three goals in five minutes, Jianxiang. I bet that fans who didn't stay up late today to watch this Champions League live broadcast will be very upset when they wake up tomorrow morning! Because they may have missed one of the most exciting Champions League finals in this century!"
"Haha, yes! And if they come together tomorrow morning, oh no, this morning, they will probably find that the outside world has changed!
Really, just those two goals, a winger passed five people, and a 100-meter run from the center penetrated four. Even old-timers like Ronaldinho and Henry had no choice but to be defeated in front of them. A new era is about to begin. Yes. "
"Yes, with this kind of performance, you can't stop them even if you bring the army to the door! And I don't know if you have noticed that every time he faces Messi, Chen Mo's personal desire to attack is much stronger than usual."
"Indeed, it is easy for an individual to force a breakthrough to create a famous scene, but the reason why successful breakthroughs are all famous scenes is because the strength gap between players in the five major leagues is not that big.
Don't look at the highlights, everyone who looks at the highlights is Maradona. In a normal game, let alone how many people he has passed, it is very easy to make mistakes even if he passes a defensive player one-on-one.
Most of the time, Chen Mo prefers to cooperate with his teammates to cause damage, but as you said, Chen Mo gets excited every time he kicks Messi. And it's not just Chen Mo who gets excited when he kicks Messi, Messi also always gets explosive when he kicks Chen Mo. Kind of, it feels a bit like the old enemy in the comics, haha. "
"Haha, yes. But then, the pressure came to Barcelona again. I don't know if they equalized in one minute and fell behind again the next minute. Will this huge psychological gap have an impact on their state? Oh, I Oh my god! Look at this picture! Something big is going to happen to Barcelona!"
The commentator was chattering, a little worried about Barcelona, but at this moment, when the Arsenal generals were celebrating, the referee also came to Puyol and showed him a yellow card.
Puyol's collision just now is enough to deserve a card, and since he was the last player except the goalkeeper, he can actually receive a red card, so there is no injustice.
However, under normal circumstances, no matter what the teammates did, when the card was taken, other teammates should approach the referee to give a few symbolic words, but at this time, only Xavi Iniesta and Ronaldinho Messi surrounded them, and others like Deco Eto Ozambrotta and others were watching all this quietly not far away.
"There's something wrong with their mentality!"
Seeing this scene, on the sidelines, Wenger, who had just cooled down from the enthusiasm of fist-pumping celebration, became excited again!
Anyone who has ever worked knows how uncomfortable it is to have a colleague you can't deal with in the office.
Mentality affects work efficiency!
Barcelona didn't have this problem in the first two years. At that time, Eto'o was still a Real Madrid abandonment and had no reputation at all. Although Deco had already made a name for himself and won the Champions League in Porto before moving to Barcelona, Iniesta at the time He has not yet fully emerged, and his position has not been affected.
But this year is different. With the strong rise of Iniesta and Messi, the positions of Deco and Eto'o have become awkward. And with the sudden collapse of Barcelona at the end of the season, the current atmosphere in the entire Barcelona team is not that good. good.
There was no internal strife, it was purely supported by the thought of "having a chance to win the Champions League", but now
“There’s a great chance this year!”
Seeing the anxious faces of Eto'o and others, Wenger secretly clenched his fists! .
Chen Mo didn't know what Wenger was thinking.
Although he was leading Barcelona again at this time and had avenged his defeat by Messi, he felt much better. But after all, the first half was not even over yet. He did not celebrate for too long and soon started again. Lead your teammates back to their positions to set up the formation.
With a sweep from the referee, Eto'o passed the ball back to Xavi in the center circle.
There was no hesitation. The ball was still rolling, and Chen Mo was already swooping towards Harvey like a monkey in the sky.
"This guy still wants to score!"
Looking at Chen Mo, whose eyes were full of fighting spirit, Xavi, who was in the defensive midfield position, immediately passed the ball back to central defender Puyol. At the same time, he glanced at Iniesta, who was guarded by Modric, and frowned slightly.
Arsenal's crazy pressing style of play is exchanging physical strength for the ball.
Of course, the effects of force are mutual. Arsenal is tired, and so are Barcelona. But the problem is that they are in possession of the ball. A single pass can make Arsenal players run very far. The physical exertion of both sides is not at the same level.
In this case, Chen Mo, who was one goal ahead, still led the team to continue to press. It was obvious that Chen Mo did not want to slow down and take a breather after taking the lead, but tried to use the momentum of the just scored goal to directly overwhelm Barcelona!
Conspiracy!
But Harvey has no good solution!
The tallest player in the Barcelona team is the central defender Musk, who is 1.83 meters tall. The average height of the three midfielders is around 1.7 meters.
With such a height and physique, there is no way they can play defensive counterattacks. They can't guard against Giroud's high-altitude ball at 1.93 meters!
"You can only attack!"
If one side wants to attack, the other side can only attack!
Soon, as time passed bit by bit, the fight between the two teams became more and more intense under the watchful eyes of all the fans!
The most intense area is undoubtedly where Chen Mo and Messi are!
Both sides showed top-notch competitive status in the previous game, and as time went by, not only did their status not decline, but they further improved driven by their competitiveness!
This is a big pain for Chiellini and Iniesta and Xavi who are facing Chen Mo.
Chiellini is too tall, and Messi is already struggling to defend against the flexible Messi, but Messi is now in a hot state. Not only does he move faster, but he also expands his running range, and sometimes even retreats to the backcourt to get the ball. ball!
Chiellini felt uncomfortable guarding Gil, and seeing this, Modric could only move closer to the wing to help defend!
With Modric on the side, there will definitely be a shortage of people in the middle, but it's not just Messi who's playing well, Chen Mo is also playing hard!
Chen Mo has a strong confrontation ability, but in order to avoid injuries, generally speaking, unless there is an unavoidable situation where Puyol just forced a collision to destroy a single ball, he will use more skills to handle the ball, but it is different now.
Up!
Hot all over!
After getting the ball, the first thing to do is to turn around and look for confrontation!
Chen Mo is 1.86 meters tall and does not look like a muscular man, but his body fat content is very low!
The muscles are not big, but they are very powerful!
With his back, Iniesta had to push hard with all his might, but he couldn't hold it back!
In desperation, Harvey could only approach this side to help defend, with one person behind him and the other blocking the passing route!
Outstanding effect!
The blockade between the two did have an effect on Chen Mo, but the price was that Barcelona's firepower in the middle began to decline, leaving only Deco.
Marco Polo defends Deco alone, Hummels defends Eto'o alone, and the liberated Samuel can help defend Ronaldinho on the wing.
However, because Chen Mo was held down, Arsenal's firepower in the middle began to decline. Giroud's personal ability was not strong, and Puyol could also help defend Henry.
The hottest offensive players in this game on both sides were severely held down. For a while, there was a fierce confrontation on the field, but they were never able to break through the opponent's goal again.
but
"Deco is getting more and more anxious."
In the 42nd minute of the game, when he returned to the defense in a large area, he used a sliding tackle to shovel away Eto'o's ball that Deco tried to pass through. Watching the ball fly to the other sideline, Chen Mo quickly got up. At the same time, his eyes vaguely glanced at Deco.
Eto'o is indeed a strong striker, and it is difficult for Hummels to guard him alone, but the problem is that Barcelona just pressed very high.
Eto'o is almost active on the line of the penalty area, giving a through ball is a gift to the goalkeeper, but Eto'o is not strong enough, and it is difficult to hold up the 1.93 meter Hummels to get the ball with his back.
At this time, trying to give the ball to Eto'o is a bit like a miracle.
There is no doubt that Deco's mentality is starting to get a little anxious.
With this in mind, Chen Mo took advantage of Barcelona's sideline kick and immediately turned his head to look at Modric. He was about to speak, but before his voice came out, Modric also turned his gaze over.
"This guy's understanding of the game has improved very quickly."
Their eyes met, no words were needed, just a little sideways glance. Chen Mo immediately understood that Modric also saw a problem.
The thought of going together felt great. A smile flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by seriousness: "Modric can see it, so Xavi and Iniesta must also understand it!"
Deco's state was not good before. Chen Mo believed that Deco's pass was not to paralyze him, but Harvey and Xiaobai. As partners who grew up together, Chen Mo did not believe that they could not see Deco's problem and had always liked him. Harvey, who was directing his teammates on the field, didn't even shout!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
"They might have set up an ambush! But..."
Chen Mo, who knew what he was doing and had a thoughtful look in his eyes, no longer hesitated, lowered his head and trotted away. The moment he saw his position moving back, Harvey's eyes also shone with light!
Towards the end of the first half, still one goal behind Arsenal, thinking that he might be eliminated if he failed to win the Champions League, Deco became more and more anxious.
In the 45th minute of the game, when the fourth official raised the LED sign indicating five minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines, Deco was excited when he saw Eto'o who had retreated deep to get the ball!
Eto'o can't hold Hummels with his back, but he can take it by retreating to such a deep position!
Without any hesitation, Deco blocked Modric with his right shoulder and sent the ball directly to Eto'o's feet with a straight kick. But the moment the ball left the arch of his left foot, he suddenly felt his right shoulder loosen!
"what's the situation?!"
Instinct reaction!
Deco immediately realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously turned around to observe, only to find that Modric had already sprinted forward, and the moment he passed the ball, Chen Mo, who had already planned it, turned back and ran as fast as a cheetah!
His long strides and extremely fast pace, before Eto'o stretched out his foot, he lifted the instep of his right foot to stop the ball, and at the same time resisted Eto'o with his left shoulder!
In terms of speed, Chen Mo couldn't be much faster than Eto'o, but in terms of strength, the skinny Eto'o was no match for him. He fell to the ground directly after this confrontation!
"foul!"
"Foul! He fouled!"
As soon as Eto'o fell to the ground, Deco immediately raised his hands and shouted, but the referee could see clearly from the side and did not blow the whistle at all. At this moment, Chen Mo, who stole the ball with the outside of his right foot, immediately kicked it with his right foot. The ball flicked to the right, and then he stepped forward to pass the ball straight to Modric who was advancing in the left midfield!
"Caught you!"
"really!"
The moment Chen Mo just made some adjustments, Xavi rushed into the passing path between him and Modric like a prophet!
Chen Mo's retracement must have something to do!
Deco is not in good condition, and the easiest person to perform is Modric!
Thinking of this, Xavi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he even glanced at Messi on the wing, and began to think of a counterattack route after stealing the ball, but in the next second, "Bang!"
"What?!"
In Harvey's shocked eyes, Chen Mo did not send a ground ball to the ball, but directly drove to the left front court, where... it was Giroud!
"Girou?!"
"Why is Giroud on the left?! Henry goes to the center?!"
Seeing Giroud suddenly appearing on the left, and seeing Chen Mo not playing a through ball to Modric, Xavi's eyes were filled with shock!
Seeing his reaction, Modric, who was running forward, flashed a smile and admiration in his eyes.
Yes, Modric's forward thrust was just a cover-up!
The real killer move is Giroud and Henry after switching positions!
Xavi and Iniesta don't know why these two people changed positions, but Modric sees it clearly!
Before Chen Mo retreated, he seized the space where Xavi and Iniesta were shaking their heads to observe at the same time. With his right hand on his left chest, he made a shooting gesture towards Henry Giroud in the frontcourt!
"Seizing the blind spot of two people's cross vision while avoiding the cross glances of two pairs of eyes. What a terrifying observation ability."
Modric's eyes were filled with admiration and emotion. At this time, the ball had already dropped to the left wing, where Giroud was holding Zambrotta on with his back.
Giroud has no speed, and his breakthrough ability is limited. After all, he is 1.93 meters tall. Even a genius like Ibrahimovic does not have many famous scenes. But it can be said that Giroud is making a wall and "bounce" the ball to My teammates are absolutely world-class.
With a height of 1.93 meters, Zambrotta, who was 1.82 meters tall, could hardly stand up straight. The next second, amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Giroud shook his head directly in front of the falling ball!
Header ferry!
But instead of Duang's pinball, it's a downward slash ball!
The ball speed is very fast!
The ball rolled straight to Henry's feet at the forward midfielder position!
Needless to say, as an impact forward, facing Puyol who was defending him, looking at the large open space behind the opponent, Henry directly met the ball and made a violent pass!
The ball passed!
The ball goes from the right and people go from the left!
"Damn it!"
Looking at Henry who rushed to his right shoulder in the blink of an eye, Puyol's eyes were filled with anger and a hint of helplessness.
Because of Chen Mo's 100-meter surprise attack, he got a yellow card!
Henry's breakthrough method can only be pursued with speed and stuck in the inner lane, but he can't outrun Henry, and once he forces a physical confrontation, it is easy to get fouled and get a card!
"What should I do if he falls?!"
A foul might turn two yellows into one red!
In the flash of lightning, a trace of hesitation flashed in Puyol's eyes, and at this moment of hesitation, Henry had already passed by him like a strong wind.
"One-on-one ball! Oh my God! Henry ran out of one-on-one ball!"
"Is it going to be three to one?!!"
The commentator roared, and under the expectant gaze of the scene and Arsenal fans around the world, running Henry was like a black tomahawk slashing into the Barcelona penalty area!
Although they are both French, Henry and Dengbao are two different concepts. Henry's single-handed ball is extremely stable!
Needless to say, the moment he stepped into the penalty area and saw that the goalkeeper was slightly to the right, Henry pushed his right foot forward to the left!
Arch push!
The ball passed Valdez's fingers and entered the goal!
Three to one!
The whole place was boiling instantly!
The commentator and the fans in the audience chanted Henry's name, but in Harvey's eyes, who had just chased back across the center line and stopped after letting out a breath, he could only see the No. 10 jersey flying towards Henry.
Xavi is not a mediocre person. When Arsenal played this series of smooth counterattacks, he already understood everything.
Taking a deep breath and looking at Chen Mo whose hair was being rubbed crazily by Henry, Harvey put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath, shaking his head slightly: "What a monster."
